Our Project Support Administrator Mark Finnegan joined Bóthar in early 2025, after graduating from UL with a Degree in Political Science and International Relations. He gained invaluable work experience during his studies, having carried out a placement with Irish Aid as part of UL’s Cooperative Education Programme. It was this experience which inspired him to pursue a career in the development sector.
